I have Hasimoto's thyroiditis along with the alopecia. Last year, my thyroid medication was increased. After months of taking coconut oil to help with my eczema, I went in to see my endocrinologist. My skin was dry and red. I was convinced I needed to increase my throid medication. Turns out, it was too high. I tested hyperthyroid. They lowered the dosage and after a few weeks everything went back to normal. I have been taking aloe vera for almost two months and now I'm noticing that my skin is dry again. It would be great to find out that the aloe vera is assisting my body in producing thyroid again. A book I read said that it aloe vera is supposed to help with autoimmune diseases. Alopecia is an autoimmune disease. I'm not due to see the endocrinologist for a couple months yet, so I have to wait on that. I'm still losing hair, but I don't expect that to stop right away.
